Creating a Color Scheme

Are you looking to redecorate or going to paint a room? Need help picking a color? Here is some advice to help you! To start I would recommend to use the color you wear most? You must love that color, start your color scheme there. Whether it's for the color of the wall or an accent color, I would use your favorite color in your life! Mine is blue! Now that you have decided on one color you love, what combinations are you going to pick to go with it? Let me show you some examples with the color blue. Monochromatic, Complimentary. Analogous, Triad.

Monochromatic Color Scheme Below 

Monochromatic colors are all the colors (tints, tones, and shades) of a single hue. Below is the example of Blue.

Complimentary Color Scheme Below 

Complimentary colors are pairs of colors that are of 

“opposite” hue on the color wheel. 
Blue's complimentary color is Orange

Analogous Color Scheme Below. Analogous colors are groups of colors that are 

adjacent to each other on the color wheel. Teal Blue is beside Green & Green Yellow.

Triad Color Scheme Below 

The Triad color scheme uses three colors equally distant 

from each other on the color wheel. Blue, Red, & Yellow.

What do you think? What color scheme would you go for?

Monochromatic, Complimentary, Triad, or Analogous?
